Pepperidge Farm, Whole Grain

Okay guys, look. I know it's Halloween right now. I know, okay? I didn't get around to finding a spooky Halloween flavored bread to review. I'm sorry. This is but a normal bread review. However! As you may have noticed! I put a spooky skeleton next to the bread image! Surely that will put us all in the Halloween spirit for this completely normal and not haunted bread review post. This bread review post is not haunted. Anything paranormal you see in this post is due to a problem on your end. This is a completely normal, not haunted bread review.

Now you may be wondering, "why did you wait until Halloween to post this completely not haunted bread review about a normal type of bread Mister...?" Well the answer to that question is simple. No, I'm not telling you my name, and any feeble attempt to get me to divulge it to you will not win you any pity points with me. Secondly, I intended to purchase a spooky bread type, like perhaps bread in the shape of a zombie or something. However, I decided against this because I felt that it would make the post haunted. Maybe even the entire blog. This was my only reason for doing so, and it was not at all because I was too lazy to go buy bread.

Anyway, let's get on with discussing today's bread. This month, we've got another Pepperidge Farm brand bread. This time, though, it's whole wheat. FIFTEEN GRAINS. By golly, that's a lot of grains. And this bread will let you know about it, too. As soon as you open the bread bag, you'll be bombarded by loose seeds at a rate not seen on this continent since the American Revolutionary War. What are these seeds, exactly? Well, I initially suspected that it would be mostly oats or perhaps sesame seeds. HOWEVER. This bread apparently comes topped with Sunflower Seeds. I'm not kidding. The ingredients list Sunflower Seeds. Oats are also in there but after the sunflower seeds.

Regardless of the seed content of this bread, it's actually pretty good. The slices are nice and hefty, and it's pretty dense. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this bread. This bread is thick enough to support itself when you apply jelly to a slice. You know, like how normally when you're trying to spread jelly over a slice of bread with a spoon but the jelly is too thick to spread well so you have to apply more pressure to get it to spread which like smooshes the bread because the bread is too weak to handle this high pressure situation of getting jelly spread across it so it leaves like this stupid dent in the middle of this bread slice and your sandwich is hollow and your day is ruined? Yeah, well with this bread you don't have to worry about it. This bread can support itself. It's strong and independent.

As always, I like to touch on the iron content of the bread. Apparently, each slice of bread contains 6% of your daily iron intake, which is 1.1 milligrams apparently. So, if you eat fifty slices of this bread in one sitting, you'll become an iron bar. Pretty cool. Also, this bread is really dark brown in color. You can really tell this bread has G R A I N S. The dark brown really makes it look like G R A I N S.

Overall, this is a really nice bread. I did not come into this bread with high hopes after the Blueberry Swirl was somewhat disappointing. This bread was a pleasant surprise. And we didn't even get haunted! I know we all would have liked to have me review a spooky bread flavor this year, but I think avoiding being haunted was well worth the substitution.

Overall bread rating: 9.848/10

Thanks.
